Upon meeting with the guide at the hotel lobby in downtown Chengdu, a journey begins in an air-conditioned vehicle towards the Giant Panda Breeding Base. Here, one can observe pandas of varying ages and learn about their life stages from infancy to adulthood. The visit includes a tour of the research lab, museum, playground, hospital, and lake, providing ample opportunities for memorable photographs of these endangered animals.
The return trip is equally engaging as it offers a glimpse into Chengdu’s attractions. A stop at Wenshu Yuan Monastery, the city's best-preserved temple, reveals hundreds of statues, relics, and over 500 artworks. With the guide's assistance, gain insights into Buddhism, observe locals in prayer, and admire the relics, gardens, and halls. Following this spiritual exploration, savour lunch at a local restaurant before immersively experiencing local life with a stroll through Chengdu People's Park. Participate in dancing and singing, sip tea, and soak up the relaxed atmosphere.
To conclude the day, choose between exploring Kuanzhai Alleys, known for its traditional architecture and nightlife, or Jinli, an ancient Shu commercial street. After this final adventure, you will be returned to your hotel in Chengdu.
